title: [Effects of oxiracetam and piracetam on the electrical activity of neurons of the cerebral cortex].
abstract: The effect of oxiracetam and piracetam on the spontaneous impulse neuronal activity of the somatosensory cortex of the cat and rabbit was studied. Oxiracetam and piracetam when applied microiontophoretically changed neuronal activity by depressing in the majority of the cases studied or sometimes facilitating the spontaneous firing rate. A small percentage of neurons (about 30%) remains unaffected by the application of the nootropics. In some cases oxiracetam and piracetam diminished the depress effect of morphine and DADLE on the spontaneous impulse neuronal activity.
